I’m heading off to California on Monday for an extended three week long break. I’m not sure how much access or time I’m going to have to write in this blog so I figured I would make one last post before I hit the road. Who knows, I might have a lot of down time and will end up making posts a lot. Or it might be complete radio silence for the entire time I’m away. That is sort of the beauty of the way I like to take vacations. Pretty much anything can happen. Or nothing can happen at all.

Either way, I have my Hasselblad and my Minolta SRT-101 all packed up with a generous amount of film ready for some adventures. Anyone who is a film photographer knows that sometimes traveling with film gear can be a bit of a pain. That is one of the things I really envy about digital photographers. Media cards don’t take up a lot of room in a camera bag. Bricks of film however, not to mention a light meter, lens filters, etc. can make it pretty tough to get away with that one carry on bag you plan on stuff into the overhead compartment on the plane.
